Plzenska Velka Synagoga, Plzen, Bohemia(CZ), 2007


This synagogue, constructed in 1888-1893, is one of the largest in the world, third largest according to the sources I could find. Designed by architect Emmanuel Klotz after an earlier architect named Fleichmann's design was declared too big by city interests (or possibly just bigots), its combination of architectural styles and its overall quality all contribute to making it one of the most desirable ones to visit, too. Those two towers are, incidentally, 65 meters high, and unlike on the cathedral the immense dimensions of this building are obvious. In addition to religious services (there were none from 1973-1998, but now it's supposedly open for religious purposes again), the synagogue also hosts concerts and exhibitions, and not always on religious subjects, either. It's actually quite a hard subject to photograph, as I've done it several times and getting the light right is quite challenging, as you can see that even here much of it is in shadow. I was only going to be in the city a few hours, so I couldn't wait for better light, unfortunately.
